Question
What should be done if a newborn has a high level of jaundice?
Answer
Neonatal jaundice can be physiological or breastmilk-induced. The former can be resolved through phototherapy, while the latter may require temporarily discontinuing breastfeeding to observe changes in jaundice. If diagnosed as breastmilk-induced jaundice, consider continuing or temporarily stopping breastfeeding until the jaundice subsides.
